In other embodiment, the plurality oflight-emitting units 12 is connected in parallel, in series-parallel, orin bridging connection by another type of the conductive circuit traces133. In this embodiment, the light from the plurality of light-emittingunits 12 does not pass through the carrier 11. Therefore, the light fromthe plurality of light-emitting units 12 emits toward the top surface111 but does not pass through the top surface 111. The carrier 11 can bea circuit board. The core layer of the circuit board includes metal,thermoplastic material, thermosetting material, or ceramic material. Themetal includes Al, Cu, Au, Ag, an alloy thereof. Besides, the metal canbe a multilayer structure or a single layer structure. The thermosettingmaterial includes phenolic resin, epoxy, bismaleimide triazine resin, orcombinations thereof. The thermoplastic material includes polyimideresin, polytetrafluorethylene, and so on. The ceramic material includesaluminum oxide, aluminum nitride, aluminum silicon carbide, and so on.

As shown in FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 1C, a reflective layer 14 is formed on thetop surface 111 and the circuit structure 13, and exposes some portionsof the conductive circuit traces 133, which are the exposed conductivecircuit traces 1331, 1332 right under the plurality of light-emittingunits 12 for bonding, and the electrode pads 131, 132. The exposedconductive circuit traces 1331, 1332 are physically separated. In thisembodiment, the conductive circuit trace 1332A close to the electrodepad 131 is physically separated from the electrode pad 131 and theconductive circuit trace 1331B close to the electrode pad 132 isphysically separated from the electrode pad 132. Each of thelight-emitting units 12 has a first connecting pad 120A and a secondconnecting pad 120B electrically and physically connected to the exposedconductive circuit traces 1331, 1332. In this embodiment, the shape ofthe top view of each of exposed conductive circuit traces 1331, 1332 isrectangular and has a long side parallel to that of the carrier 11. Inanother embodiment, the long side of each of exposed conductive circuittraces 1331, 1332 is parallel to the short side of the carrier 11, orhas an angle between 0˜90 degree with the long side of the carrier 11.In another embodiment, the shape of the top view of the exposedconductive traces 1331, 1332 are a round, an ellipse, or a polygon.Additionally, the reflective layer 14 is able to reflect the light fromthe light-emitting unit 12 toward the carrier 11 to increase thelighting efficiency of the light-emitting device 100.

As shown in FIG. 1C and FIG. 1D, the light-emitting unit 12 is notdisposed on the bottom surface 112. The circuit structure 13 furtherincludes a third electrode pad 134 and a fourth electrode pad 135 formedon the bottom surface 112 of the carrier 11. The positions of the thirdelectrode pad 134 and the forth electrode pad 135 correspond to theposition of the first electrode pad 131 and the second electrode pad 132respectively. A first through-hole 151 passes through the carrier 11 andhas a conductive material filled therein partially or entirely forelectrically connecting to the first electrode pad 131 and the thirdelectrode pad 134. A second through-hole 152 passes through the carrier11 and has a conductive material filled therein partially or entirelyfor electrically connecting to the second electrode pad 132 and thefourth electrode pad 135. In one embodiment, the external power (powersupply) can be connected to the first electrode pad 131 and the secondelectrode pad 132 so as to make the plurality of light-emitting units 12emit light. In one embodiment, the third electrode pad 134 and thefourth electrode pad 135 are not physically connected to the externalpower. While the electrode pads 131, 132 are electrically connected tothe external power by resistance welding (soldering), a metal clip isneeded to clip the carrier 11, and the third electrode pad 134 and thefourth electrode pad 135 can make the light-emitting device 100 morerobust and provide a conductive path during the clipping process of thefabrication. In one embodiment, the electrode pads 131, 132 areelectrically connected to the external power by bonding wire and thethird electrode pad 134 and the fourth electrode pad 135 does not needto be formed.

As shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1E, the optic structure 10 covers the topsurface 111, the bottom surface 112 of the carrier 11, and the sidesurface 113 of the two long sides of the carrier 11, and exposes theelectrode pads 131, 132, 134, 135. The optic structure 10 has arectangular-like shape in cross-sectional view. FIG. 1F is an enlargedview of FIG. 1E. The optic structure 10 has a top surface 101 with acurved portion; two side surfaces 102 which are substantial straightlines and parallel to each other in the cross-sectional view; twoside-bottom surfaces 103; and a bottom surface 104 which is asubstantial flat surface connecting two side-bottom surface 103. The topsurface 101 is arranged above the top surface 111 of the carrier 11 andthe bottom surface 104 is arranged under the bottom surface 112 of thecarrier 11. The side surface 102 extends from the top surface 101 to thebottom surface 112 of the carrier 11 along z direction. Each side-bottomsurfaces 103 includes a first portion 1031 which extends from the sidesurface 102 to the bottom surface 104 with an inclined angle; and asecond portion 1302. The second portion 1302 located at right side orleft side of the optic structure 10 connects the first portion 1031 andextends curvedly to the bottom surface 104, respectively. The firstdistance (D1) between the bottom surface 112 of the carrier 11 and thebottom surface 104 of the optic structure 10 is of 0.3 mm˜0.7 mm; thesecond distance (D2) between the top surface 111 of the carrier 11 andthe top surface 101 of the optic structure 10 is of 0.8 mm˜0.13 mm. Thesecond distance (D2) is larger than the first distance (D1). The topsurface 101 has a curved portion with a curvature radius of 0.4 mm˜0.7mm, and has a central angle θ₁ of 40°˜60° or a radium of 2π/9˜π/3. Thesecond portion 1302 of the side-bottom surface 103 has a curved portionwith a curvature radius of 0.2˜0.4 mm, and has a central angle θ₂ of5°˜20° or a radium of π/36˜π/9. The diffusing powder (TiO₂, ZrO₂, ZnO,Aluminum oxide) can be optionally filled in the optic structure 10 toimprove the diffusion or/and the scatter of the light from thelight-emitting unit 12. The diffusing powder in the optic structure 10has a weight percentage concentration (w/w) of 0.1˜0.5%, and has aparticle size of 10 nm˜100 nm or 10˜50 μm. In one embodiment, the weightpercentage concentration of the diffusing powder in the gel can bemeasured by the thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). In brief, during theheating process, the temperature is increased gradually and the gel canbe removed by evaporation of thermal cracking reaction, for example,while the temperature reaches a certain degree so the diffusing powderis remained. Hence, the weight of the gel and the weight of thediffusing powder can be obtained based on the weight difference of themeasuring object, and the weight percentage concentration of thediffusing powder in the gel is determined. Alternatively, the totalweight of the gel and the diffusing powder can be measured first, andwhen the gel is removed by the solvent afterward, the weight of thediffusing powder is measured and the weight percentage concentration ofthe diffusing powder in the gel is obtained. Referring to FIG. 1A,although the plurality of light-emitting units 12 can be seen, the opticstructure 10 would look like white when the concentration of thediffusing powder filled in the optic structure reaches a specific levelso the plurality of light-emitting units 12 cannot be seen.

The optic structure 10 is transparent to light, such as sunlight or thelight from the light-emitting unit 12. The optic structure 10 includessilicone, epoxy, PI, BCB, PFCB, SUB, acrylic resin, PMMA, PET, PC,polyetherimide, fluorocarbon polymer, Al₂O₃, SINR, or SOG.

FIG. 2A shows a light emitting route of the light-emitting unit 12within the optic structure 10. To be more specific, the route shown inthe figure is just one of several possible routes and not a uniqueroute. The following figures are similar to FIG. 2A. For example, thelight (L) from the light-emitting unit 12 emits to the top surface 101and produces a first refracting light (L11) and a first reflecting light(L12) on the top surface 101. The first reflecting light (L12) emits tothe side surface 102 and produces a second refracting light (L21) and asecond reflecting light (L22) on the side surface 102. The secondreflecting light (L22) emits to the bottom surface 104 and produces athird refracting light (L31) and a third reflecting light (L32) on thebottom surface 104. Or, as shown in FIG. 2B, for example, the light (M)from the light-emitting unit 12 emits to the top surface 101 andproduces a first refracting light (M11) and a first reflecting light(M12) on the top surface 101. The first reflecting light (M12) emits tothe first portion 1031 of the side-bottom surface 103 and produces asecond refracting light (M21) and a second reflecting light (L22) on thefirst portion 1031. The second reflecting light (M22) emits to thebottom surface 104 and produces a third refracting light (M31) and athird reflecting light (M32) on the bottom surface 104. FIG. 2C and FIG.2D show other possible light emitting routes within the optic structure10. The probability of the light emitting out of the bottom surface 112of the carrier 10 and out of the bottom surface 104 can be increased bythe geometric design of the optic structure 10 according to the presentdisclosure. The light-emitting device 100 can have a first luminousintensity above the top surface 111 (the first side) and a secondluminous intensity under the bottom surface 112 (the second side), andthe ratio of the first luminous intensity to the second luminousintensity is about of 2˜9. The definition of the first luminousintensity and the second luminous intensity can refer to the followingdescription. To be more specific, the light emitting route shown in thefigure is just one of the several possible routes and is not the onlyroute. Though the light is refracted and reflected on a surfacesimultaneously, the light can also be refracted only or reflected onlydepending on the difference of the refractive index between thematerials, the incident angle, and the wavelength of light at theboundary of materials, etc.

FIG. 2E shows a luminous intensity distribution curve of alight-emitting device 100 operated under an operating current of 10 mAand in a thermal steady state. In more detail, when the light-emittingdevice 100 emits light, an imaginary circle (as the P1 circle shown inFIG. 1A) of the light intensity is measured by the luminous intensitydistribution measuring system. Furthermore, the light intensity of eachpoint on the circle and corresponding angle are plotted to obtain theluminous intensity distribution curve. For measuring purpose, thelight-emitting device 100 has a geometric center at a positioncorresponding to the center of the P1 circle. In this embodiment, theweight percentage concentration of the diffusing powder is 0.3%. Asshown in the figure, the maximum of the light intensity is about 4.53candela (cd); the light intensity from 0° to 180° is substantially alambertian distribution. To be more specific, the light intensity isminimum at −90° and is about 0.5 candela (cd); the light intensity isalmost the same from −90° to −80°; the light intensity from −80° to 90°is gradually increased; the curve in the light intensity from−90°˜0°˜90° is similar to that from 90°˜180°˜−90°; and the lightintensity distribution within a range of angle of −90°˜0°˜90° issymmetrical to that within a range of angle of 90°˜180°˜90° with respectto the axis of 90°˜−90°. Furthermore, in the luminous intensitydistribution curve, the overall of the light intensity within a range ofangle of 0°˜90°˜180° is the first light intensity, and the overall ofthe light intensity within a range of angle of 0°˜−90°˜−180° is thesecond light intensity, the ratio of the first light intensity to thesecond light intensity is about 4. The emitting angle of thelight-emitting device 100 calculated from the luminous intensitydistribution curve is about 160°.

The emitting angle is defined as the angular range from the maximumlight intensity down to 50% of the maximum light intensity. For example,a relationship curve (not shown) between light intensity and angle isdrawn using a Cartesian coordinate system (x coordinate representsangle; y coordinate represents light intensity) transformed from theluminous intensity distribution curve (polar diagram) obtained bymeasuring the P1 circle of the light-emitting device 100 of FIG. 2E.Next, a line is plotted whereat the value is 2.265 candela (50% of themaximum light intensity) parallel to the x coordinate to intersect thecurve at two points (two intersections) and an angular range between thetwo points is calculated to obtain the emitting angle.
